By Conor Daly, Verizon IndyCar Series Driver I can’t believe the season has already come to an end. It went by so fast, especially the last couple of months. I really didn’t want it to end. The last race of the season didn’t really go the way we wanted it to. It was unfortunate that our worst races this year were on the double points weekends in Sonoma and Indianapolis.

So far the season has been very much up and down. We struggled in practice and qualifyingRead More
